I'm talking about the comicbook tho and even THEN Cap wasn't around until issue 4 lol
I SWEAR we had this convo before Bull lol Wasn't it mentioned that Rhodey was elsewhere and wasn't able to Help with Avengers? like the prequel comic or something?

Sure, but that comic came up in the months before Iron Man 3. Before that, we had no idea where Rhodey was during the Avengers.

I'm sure Hawkeye will get a comic explaining where he is during Cap2, at some point.
